im really not dieting now.. like 3000 calories a day of good food, still eating ice cream though and pasta.

250 grams pro a day i think,, really not counting at all, just eating every 3-4 hrs.... i'll get a vid later and post a link done from my fone so u guys can see whhat i look like now
thanx for positive comments

(ps, i dont want to sound like an ass, but this p90 x thing is another late trend, and all these out of shape people are doing it... listen, workout eat right and do it yr round for the most part... its as simple as that, no trix)

Thanks for the quick info, should be interesting seeing ur vid once it's up
If anything I'm more interested in what you eat when dieting. I'm 5'6, just one inch shy of ur height so it could help me gauge the amount of calorie/protein/good fats/carbs I need to intake per day. I have a rough idea but it'd be nice to have something a little more concrete

I do agree with one thing you said tho, p90x is sorta of a late trend. I've started doing back 3 years ago. Now I incorporate the best exercises from that program into my own exercise regiment. But hey, if p90x helps people wanting to get into shape and be healthy, all the power to the product!

Yeah, p90x is def a trendy thing to do, but it works. Not sure if its because the program switches up and keeps it interesting or what, but it seemed to catch on. There are a million videos out there that people can do that would give a result if followed.

I, personally, hate going to the gym. I'm just not into working out and feel out of place especially with all the meat heads up here in my gym. It's way more time working out than I want to put into my day with the drive and all. Plus, I never get as good of a workout if I'm not being pushed in some manner, hence the need for Tony the turd. Goofy guy, but I'm diggin it so far on week #3!

I mean, I just want to not be uncomfortable at the beach, and have a successful mud run this year - that is all really.

I just saw a guy whom I have worked with three years ago. At first, I did not recongize him at all even after he introduced himself. I just thought that he was another guy with the same name. Then he said that he thinks he might have met me before. LOL. It turns out, he got divorce with his wife (wife left him)two years ago and started the P90X workout, lost 30 pounds and he was featured in the informercial. I always thought those workout videos are a rip-off, but I guess it is not always true. He is in a really good sharp; capable of doing like 36 pull-ups etc.

He even tattooed the P90X logo on his chest. My reaction was "So...do they take visa?"

Just saw this thread and thought I would comment. I was a United States Marine for 13 years. I have always been in outstanding shape (not to brag). However, p90x does take you to another level. You get what you put into it though. You can sandbag it and get nowhere or you can push yourself. At the age of 30 I was probably in the best shape of my life. Crossfit is ok from what I have seen. But, I have also seen many people get injured doing it.

so i been dieting for about a month and i just started. i keep hearing about a cheat meal. is that the junk food you can? what is a cheat meal?

If you eat properly throughout the week, you get one meal or one day depending on what your diet is to eat whatever you want. P90X is great for getting cut and looking good as well as endurance, but you lose strength which is not a good thing in the military. Of course the typical user on this website is probably a couch potato so anything is better than nothing I suppose.

yea im just trying to look good and get cut. im not really worried about strength. plus in my line of work in the army i dont need much strength

just did the yoga x today. i wont lie i thought yoga was kinda weird before i did it. now i have a alot of respect for you guys out there.

A lot of people skip yoga, but I think it is actually a pretty important routine. It did wonders for me the first couple of weeks to remove all the soreness from my legs and you get a great stretch in your muscles to prevent injury down the road. It also works out your core, which is important for p90x and beyond. The biggest problem with yoga is the length of the routine. To try and cut it down, I skipped through the breathing/mediation in the beginning and end and also skipped most of the balance postures. So basically did the first 45 minutes, some of the first couple balance postures, then skipped to yoga belly section. In all I was able to cut the workout to an hour.
